I was wondering the same thing as they have not said anything as far as I have read/heard. I would hope they will be sold by Xur but I wouldn't be surprised if they were only available as rewards for now.
I hope they don't. Per the conversation we had a while ago, the fact that they were sold by Xur made them feel less than exotic before the game was even a month old. If you take a look back, we have plenty of other opportunities to get exotics through raids/nightfalls/engrams. It would be nice for Xur to have a bigger pool of items, but this is also the right time to make a change like this.

Damn. Plus what appear to be Exotic Hunter legs.Posted this in the PS3 thread:
Obviously pre-release, but you can see he's selling the Rocket Launcher exotic from the trailer
Before I do anything with armor pieces, I'm going to have to find out what armor we get in the new Raid (on Normal). For PvE, anyway, I'd think you would want to upgrade (at least initially) only what you can't get via the Raid. I like my Sunbreakers, but assuming they go with the Helm for hard mode again, I'd have to work on one of my two (currently maxed of course) exotic Warlock helms. For my Titan I'd have to go away from Armamentarium and back to the Skullfort or Inmost Light. But who knows, maybe they'll switch it up and have the chest armor be the hard mode exclusive item.BrolyB593 said:
I hate the exotic Warlock Helmets though hahaha
Yeah. I thought the feathered one had a cool look, but it doesn't have any great benefits.BrolyB593 said:

Just wait and see... Chatterwhite will be the ultra-mega currency that you'll need for the 2nd DLC pack.After the flurry of update notes and corrections and clarifications, my new reaction is, "Meh. I'll wait and see." It will all probably be fine and fun in the end. However, I found this one line from DeeJ's latest post most amusing:
As always, the best way to evolve your Guardian in Destiny is to tackle new challenges and earn new rewards.
Riiiiiiiiight...So why is it I have I fought the Archon Priest about 20 times and io has 100 Chatterwhites?
I've kept mine. You will all bow down to your Chatterwhite-enshrouded overlord soon enough!aFrostyONE said:Just wait and see... Chatterwhite will be the ultra-mega currency that you'll need for the 2nd DLC pack.
We'll all be crying over the number of CW's we dismantled
Since you are running out of things to do and hunting ghosts, might as well work on your grimoire scoreYeah. I thought the feathered one had a cool look, but it doesn't have any great benefits.
The thing is I'm currently using 3 different types on my 3 characters: Sunbreakers (gloves) on my Warlock, Armamentarium (chest) on my Titan, and Achlyophage Symbiote (helm) on my Hunter (and would probably switch to Kuncklehead Radar if I ever found one).
So, yeah, watch the hard mode armor item be the boots this time
As for the game, I continued hunting Ghosts last night and got the achievement. I still have some more to find on Mars. There were some deviously hidden ones there. And Gotdott, remember that one in the Iron Line (I think) that we were trying to jump up and get? I figured out how and even did it with my Hunter. I was using her to hunt ghosts since I was trying to level the chest armor I got from the Raid the other day. That made some of them more difficult than they should have been, but I think they are all possible to reach with every type of character. You just have to do it in different ways.
On the video I watched the guy went straight across to the upper platform then jumped up to the rock with the Ghost. Remember when we did it we were jumping on the little barriers and then going to a smaller platform off to the right. Well, as a Hunter that is the way to do it. But then you have to jump carefully between some wires to get from there to the ghost. I think it was also easier this time because as a result of the Raid I had turned my brightness up and I could now see the gap in the wires.
Other than that, I'm half a node away from maxing that Hunter chest armor. And then I got the Pocket Infinity bounty again so I figured I might as well do it again (though it costs a lot of glimmer to buy those fusion rifles and I am just recovering from the last time I did that). But otherwise I guess there isn't much for me to do until the DLC hits.
I might run the Raid with randoms on my Titan. I just don't want to go with a group of veterans like I did last week who rush through it all and make me miss the chests. I'd much prefer to run it with noobs, actually, and help them through it. But it is harder than you'd think to hook up with a group like that.
Well, yeah, that's why I would keep looking for the rest of the ghosts after I got the achievement. Plus I have to tease out what little story there is through those grimoire cardsgotdott said:Since you are running out of things to do and hunting ghosts, might as well work on your grimoire score
.Why not? You've already put in 400 hours and got the mechanics down, time to put that to the test against other guardians! It just takes some (more) time to learn the map layouts and who knows you might end up liking more than you'll admitWell, yeah, that's why I would keep looking for the rest of the ghosts after I got the achievement.

Most of my remaining grimoire and achievements would be crucible-related. I'm not sure I want to get into that though.
Perhaps - but even though I've put a ton of time into the game that is almost why I don't want to get into Crucible. I'd have to invest a ton more time to learn the maps and understand the gameplay there and I don't want to get sucked into this game even more. I really need to cut back and now we have the DLC coming so that is plenty.gotdott said:Why not?

Yeah, it was kind of like that. Plus it brought me to places I hadn't been in a long time or to out of the way areas of places I had been to many times. For example, I had no idea you could get to the third level of the library (where you first run into the Vex). Yeah, there's a Ghost up there.chubbyninja1319 said:

Yea there was a recent update to make the difficulty spike from 1-3 player strikes closer together so 3 man strikes are easier now and soloing is harder but still manageable.
It is still so many more nodes to fill up thoughhhhhh
Aye. Directly from the update a couple weeks back:
y u haff 2 complain when there are no deets
That is very true. I will hold my complaints until they announce the possible pieces are arms and legs again ; P
Still skeptical because of the green flames comment. I think there are strings attached.Told you
Smooth reference there hahah
Hmmmmmmmm interesting. Good thing I have been too lazy to finish off my Pocket Infinity bounty haha
I never use Fusion Rifles anyway haha I much prefer having a sniper. I almost have never changed my special weapon from a sniper throughout the entire game.Should stay lazy then because it's currently bugged and doing less damage
If it makes you feel any better, I played the Vault of Glass for the very first time last night (normal, level 29 Titan) and one of my drops was Kabr's Brazen Grips.
I went over almost 200 hours of gameplay before I got my first Exotic Bounty... : /
I'm sure the "new and improved" RNG will be much better... But seriously at least one piece of raid gear should drop each time through, even at that pace it still takes you a month to get a full set. It is silly that someone can play the raid every week since the game came out and not get one piece of armor they need but there is a chance someone could get a full set in one try.+1000 this.NotoriousR.N.G.
